One of the most wonderful aspects of travel to an English-speaking country is that we can generally understand what is being said to us and get around fairly well. However, there are always a few words, phrases and images that have us chuckling. The same words in the USA could have a different meaning, and sometimes that is just plain funny! This collection of signage is intended to inform, amuse and entertain. I certainly hope that nothing here causes offense, because it is not intended to offend anyone. So take a look and have a little chuckle. Those requiring some explanation have a caption underneath. Enjoy!
Conjunctions waste time.

In Queensland there were several areas of straight, boring highway. The state had installed these signs as a series of trivia to help keep drivers from falling asleep! Very clever.

Oh, I wanted to see these on Facebook so I could like and like several of them!!

My favorite confusing road sign was one we encountered when driving in downtown Melbourne: “Right Turn From Left Lane Only”!!! We had to go around the block twice before getting in the correct lane for our right turn, and then got behind a car that had their turn signal on. We stayed right on their tail and successfully made our move!
